How to Prepare Cashew Creamy Spinach Salad With Roasted Chickpeas [Vegan]
- Soak the cashew nuts and the pumpkin seeds for a couple of hours (or do a quick soak in hot water for 30 minutes).
- Rinse the chickpeas and spread them out in a large oven tray (single layer). Sprinkle over the sea salt and place in the oven. Roast at 350*F for approximately 35 to 40 minutes. They should be a little brown, and definitely crunchy. Don't be tempted to take them out too early, as they will only get that real crunchiness if they are in the oven long enough (but obviously look out so you don't burn them which happens pretty easily).
- While letting the chickpeas cool off a little, make the dressing. Remove the soaking water from the pumpkin seeds and cashew nuts and place them in a food processor. Add the garlic, the lemon juice, the salt and the non-dairy milk and blend until you have a completely creamy, smooth and pretty thick dressing (or use a hand blender).
- Place the spinach leaves in a salad bowl and add the dressing. Make sure all spinach is properly coated, normally easiest done by using your hands 'massaging' it all together. Then add the avocados, toss, and then top it off with the chick peas. Add a little freshly cracked pepper and some more sea salt if desired and serve immediately.
